The Life and Loves of a Broadway Baby
Melissa Errico takes the stage with jazz pianist Tedd Firth for her new show “The Life and Loves of a Broadway Baby”
Melissa Errico sets her own life to the Broadway songs that she has sung and owned — and offers both a sensational set of beloved standards and a series of witty and sometimes wicked stories about an ingenue’s life passed on the Great White Way. A sexy, sublime study of American songs, ranging from Cole Porter to Harold Arlen, Lerner & Loewe to Taylor Swift… with a substantial peek at Melissa’s new Sondheim album, “Sondheim In The City,” released Feb 16, 2024 on Concord Records, with songs like “Everybody Says Don’t,” “Take Me To The World,” and “Being Alive.”
Come hear why Broadway World says that “the way Melissa Errico immerses herself in every moment, the technical brilliance of her vocal abilities, and the sheer star power that the lady exudes, makes her a take-no-prisoners performer, offering a leave-it-all-on-the-floor show.” Touring from England to Paris, Vegas, California, New York & more, critics are besotted, as one UK writer said: “Errico is a radiantly intelligent performer who brings astonishing depth and perception to her deep embrace of great music and illuminates it from within. A great cabaret night can be as complete and thrilling as a full musical in the hands of a mistress of the art like her” (Mark Shenton) and another said: “The exquisite Melissa Errico-a word encompassing everything she is-brought her latest show, a Broadway Baby! -With a second Sondheim album coming out, Errico’s coquettish charm on “Can That Boy Fox Trot” (Follies) was delicious, making the title seem positively naughty by her long pause between “fox” and “trot.” Here, Firth and company were at their jazziest best.”
“One song after another, Melissa Errico has her audience sighing, crying, cheering, and melting in their seats…or laughing, laughing, laughing.”

A magical summer night with a woman critics are calling “the full expressive package – a voice to die for like no other, a superb stylist at her incomparable best, in a fabulous, sparkly dress! She is coquettish, with an infectious giggle, possessing a gift for storytelling and an obvious love of performing great songs.” First known for her starring roles on Broadway-including Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Dot/Marie in Sunday in the Park with George, and a Tony-nominated performance as Isabelle in Michel Legrand’s Amour-Melissa Errico has since gained renown as a concert, cabaret, and recording artist. She is also an accomplished author who contributes regularly to The New York Times. Her albums of musical theater classics by Stephen Sondheim and Michel Legrand have garnered extensive praise, with The Wall Street Journal calling her 2018 album Sondheim Sublime “The best all-Sondheim album ever recorded” and Broadway World naming her “the premiere interpreter of the musical legacy of Michel Legrand.” In the words of The Wall Street Journal, “No show in which the irresistible Ms. Errico appears could ever be anything other than worth seeing.”
“75 minutes that is clever, passionate, witty, touching, romantic, and complex. Just like the city that inspired it…as much a valentine to this city as any Woody Allen film with half the neurosis.”
– BroadwayWorld
“One of the industry’s most endearing and enduring musical storytellers, Melissa Errico has used her work as a cabaret and concert performer to breathe life into one-of-a-kind shows that balance whimsy with intellect, hilarity with empathy, music with conversation, and always in a style so unique, so personal, so original that they might as well make a blueprint of that style for other artists to follow when creating their own acts.”

– Frank DiLella/NY1
“Melissa Errico’s golden pipes brilliantly handle any song they touch…Simply sublime, like much of Errico’s past few decades, that moment in her life was not even a dream for the 13-year-old girl from Long Island. But once it happened, it was a reality never to be forgotten – much like this marvelous show.”
– Theater Pizzazz
“Errico simply dazzled…a striking brunette with a stunning voice, what made Errico’s show so enjoyable was her actor-based presentation of each song — facial expressions, body movements and subdued theatrics made her numbers stand alone as theater in themselves, presented by an engaging troupe of one.”
